Patent number: 11893553Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media of exchanging digital assets using a public key cryptography framework. One method includes storing a plurality of digital assets on an internal ledger, and receiving a signed exchange request signed by a private key of a public and private key pair associated with a digital asset on the internal ledger, wherein the signed exchange request includes a destination address of an inter-provider ledger. The method further includes providing, to the inter-provider ledger, a public key of the public and private key pair based on interfacing with the destination address of the inter-provider ledger via a first API, and determining, from the inter-provider ledger, the signed exchange request was verified. The method further includes updating the internal ledger by removing the public and private key pair, and updating a central ledger by interfacing with a central address of the central ledger via a second API.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Ashish B.

Patent number: 11887073Abstract: A payment system implemented on a mobile device authorizes and processes transactions. The mobile device generates a public-private key pair and receives payment information. The private key and the payment information are split into a local and a remote fragment. The public key, a private key fragment, and a payment information fragment are sent to a secure payment system, and the other fragments are stored on the mobile device. When a transaction is received by the mobile device to authorize, the mobile device sends a payment fragment to the secure payment system and receives a private key fragment from the secure payment system. The mobile device authorizes the transaction using the private key, recovered from the private key fragments. The secure payment system verifies the transaction using the public key and processes the transaction using the recovered payment information. Additional techniques to process transactions using data splitting are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Minkasu, Inc.Inventors: Subramanian Lakshmanan, Anbarasan P.
